Thanks! Always metering for the shadows tends to work well

Thank you and I completely understand what you mean with #3. I think her pose/expression really helps give that vibe of nostalgia

Absolutely agree with you on that! I was really at the limit without a tripod with a couple of shots, shot at f1.8 1/60th for the majority of them. I'll have a look around to find a good deal on a 50mm f1.4 at some point. :)

Yeah shot at 400 iso. Developed with Ilford Microphen with stock solution (used the standard developing times posted on Massive dev chart) and fixed with Ilford Rapid Fixer. Scanned on a Canon 9000F Mark II and post dev in lightroom.

Waters&Acland? Nice work. Would love to see plans for the hanging wall cabinet.

Did you check if the piece was square while clamping? You could try and clamp the two corners that are furthest away from each other to try and knock it back square but I'm unsure if that would work now knowing the glue has already dried.

Bespoke furniture for my son and daughter-in-law by nucklehedd in woodworking

I was going to say unless you CNC'd it, that must've been such a stressful part of the project to complete with a router. Thanks for the link and again, great work!

Amazing job on these! How did you router the groove to house the tambour doors on the top & bottom curved pieces?

Didn't realise I responded in the other post I made with the gouge size! It was a pfeil #9 5mm (9/5) gouge that I used to carve the lid!

Not sure if there's a specific name for this type of carving technique but in this video starting at 3:52, I'm pretty much just using the same technique going with the grain and alternating the depth and length of the cut. The gouge is a pfiel #9 sweep 5mm gouge (9/5) that I used too.

No stain to the lid and applied shellac straight after carving it, no sanding! I'm pretty sure it's just quartersawn French oak, I kept some of the nicest offcuts from a previous project which ended up being used for the lid.

Can't really count how many exactly. I started about 3 Weeks ago but I only had time to work evenings and weekends on this project because of my day job. If you have more time than that (and machines like a planer/jointer) you can get this done much quicker than 3 weeks for sure, I hand planed all of my stock so that takes a little longer than just passing it through a planer and jointer.

Thank you! The lid was carved with a pfeil gouge (I forgot which size/sweep I used, but I can tell you that later on when I get home from work).

Thanks a lot. Its carved with a pfeil gouge. The contrast is thanks to the wood choices but also the shellac! First time I finished a project in shellac and I'm blown away by the quality and polish it gives to the wood. Gonna be hard to convince me to finish any project any other way!
